A truck built in 1949 could easily still have been hauling cargo for a local independant operator in the early 70s which is about the period most of the trailer kits represent. I'm not positive but I think the Lindberg flatbed, tanker and van trailers are a bit older style than the AMT and Ertl trailers.

If you want it to accurately represent a semi in the 1950s you are going to have to do some scratchbuilding.

my grandpa drove back in those days pulling a short single axle box and also pulled single axle livestock.most of those trailers had landing gear that folded rearward with a cable system. I vote for a livestock trailer if you can find or modify something out there...
